Review

Superb value car. So far no problems at all. Paint and body alignment is superb for a car in this price range. Interior build quality is also great and the huge, opening, panoramic roof is wonderful. Running costs are approximately 10% of my previous petrol car with charging on a night time tariff! The range has always exceeded the 163-mile quoted range in my case as well. The MPG figure is a cost equivalent based on my petrol vs electricity costs.

In sport mode it is very fast off the line and will compare to larger V6 or V8 engined cars

Running Cost

5 out of 5

Saving me over £2,500 per year compared to my last Petrol car, 10% of previous fueling costs, no road tax, very little, low cost servicing needed.

After the first day of receiving an EV with a faulty charger to the third day of the car not charging, and after 7 hrs at a chargepoint - the AA towed us the rest of our journey. The car was taken to Swindon to be fixed. We didn't bother picking it up and we are getting a refund. In my estimation with only a 40 odd KW battery and such reliability, this is not a good bargain at £24000.

A big electric vehicle at an affordable price (for new). Not the greatest range but plenty of space and realistically you’ll need to stop for a break about the same time the car needs a charge. Lots of features on the top spec car for the price.

Reliability

Somewhat buggy infotainment but other than that have had no issues.

Performance

3 out of 5

Pretty spritely for an SUV and the suspension will give up before the acceleration does.

Running Cost

5 out of 5

So much cheaper than ICE
